This necklace is a mixed media...
I
make a hollow herringbone rope with a reversible and removable
pendant: you can wear both sides...Is very beautiful in person....
The
pendant was made with an orange ribbon and embroidery with swarovski
crystals, seed beads and little round beads. I put the Chiclet bead in
the center and I create a butterfly...
And because I like long pendants I handmade a polymer clay hollow orange flower with little strings with beads and swarovski.
This necklace is perfect to wear in the fall...because of the colors...orange and browns...
